The Chaffinch have been regularly seen
and heard in our gully. It is an interesting introduced bird in that it has adapted
to our bush areas. To quote A Field Guide to the Birds of NZ:” they are evenly distributed wherever there are
trees or shrubs from sea-level to 4500 feet and penetrate the bush as no other
finch has done.” One of our group heard a number of them at the top of Maungatautari
Mountain this week. That is a considerable distance from any farm land.
